Cookies: Our site automatically collects certain information about our visitors so that we improve your online experience. Our site does this by placing small files called “cookies” on visitors’ computers, which collect information such as your computer’s IP address, your login and password, information about your computer’s browser and operating system, and clickstream data, which many consider to be an industry standard. None of this information can be used to identify you personally.

If you choose to have your browser reject cookies, it is possible that some areas of our site will not function properly when you view them.

STEP UP 4 VETS will not knowingly collect personal information from children without the permission of their parents or legal guardians and will delete such information if it learns it is from children who have not received such permission, but absent intervention by a responsible adult, it has no way of knowing whether the information was provided by an appropriate party or not.
